Moved to another Patch 06 - Public Beta - Build 1108p3 updated 10 July

[koniu]

I am trying to continue my 1108j7 test game with 1108k

On begin everything seems fine, but when game reach "upgrading land units" phase game freeze.
Maybe something is wrong on my side? I am waiting at lest 10 minutes, and game window is still in no response mod

[michaelm75au]

I have updated the beta.

Problem has been caused by a device upgrade loop that I wasn't expecting
KNIL Rifle Squad (#973) upgrades to KNIL Rifle Squad 45 (#996), which upgrades to KNIL Rifle Squad (#973) ....

Code is trying to find next available upgrade.

Still not 100% happy with the changes to the device upgrades for LCU whcih don't start with a formal TOE or their starting TOE is drastically different to their stated TOE.

Michael,
 
Thanks for continuing support.  Amazing!

[hbrsvl]

michaelm- I admit, I'm lazy. I don't want to go through all the posts here.

So, my question is-Is this now ready to DL and run with existing games?

Thanks, Hugh Browne

This is a BETA version, and it is likely to have effects you don't want to see.
Quote from Michael's initial post (#1):

PLEASE DON'T USE THIS EXE FOR YOUR REAL ON-GOING GAMES AT THE MOMENT PENDING MY FINDINGS ON HOW SUITABLE THE NEW EXE IS.

I understand that Matrix will release an "official" update later on. No time line is given though.

Michael,

I can't rebuild VP- 23 with VP 23, dets 1, and 2. All are on Johnston Island and have the same HQ, I moved them to Pearl and they still will not rebuild.

Same with the 8th PS and 8th PS Det, both are at March, I move them to LA and still will not rebuild.

Game saved under 1108j also tried it under 1108k without any luck

Thanks,

[michaelm75au]

Strange I can't any detach groups to recombine. Code hasn't been changed, and I can't see how any detachment could have combined in the past.

Has anyone successfully combined detachments in the past???? Like the VP-23 units.

[edit]
there is code to reattch units back their parent, but it does not seem to be getting executed[&:]

I have reactivated it and will update the beta tomorrow.

There should be a button showing for re-attaching these subunits

Rainer-Thanks. That's what I wanted to know. HB

P.S.: I also have the problem with the "upgrading land units" phase. I waited 8 min and next phase did not started.

Michael,

There are a lot of detached air units on the IJ side. I can tell you running the patch that they re-attach just fine. So, the re-attach code is working fine, at least on the IJ side.

Arleady fixed - try latest beta.
Probably You using first (1108k) version, but You need use updated one (1108k1)

Michael,

On the Allied side I reattach those air unit fragments all the time pre-Beta. With the Beta I can't.

There seems to be a problem with re-attaching on the Japanese side as well.
I changed the planes of the 63rd I.F. Chutai and the planes of 63rd I.F. Chutai Det to Dinah II. That should allow re-attaching (I have successfully used the same procedure for some other aigroups under previous game versions), but the button is missing. It seems only some airgroups are afflicted, since other re-attachments did work.

I see a similar problem in Osaka on the opening turn of Scenario 1 with the latest beta patch (k1). I was planning to join up the 12th Ku K-1 (Bettys) for deployment to Takao but I can't attach Det A or B. The same problem is to be had with the 12th Ku S-1 (Zeroes); Detatchments A and B cannot join with S-1.

As always, you have my heart-felt thanks for all of the work you are putting into this game. Words cannot begin to discribe my addiction to AE. [:'(]

Regards,

BJ

Updated the beta to correct the inability to re-attach editor defined detachments; not subunits A/B/C.

Thanks michaelm!

Hello

Sadly I have to admit that the device upgrade loop problem is still prsent on my system (v. 1108 k3). Is there a way to gain more Information why someones don`t have that issue anymore and at my system it ist still present. I would like to help a little bit. But only to say it dont work right is not enough.

Omat

P.S.: I also saw the problem wich Theages and BJStone is active.
